Data Availability

To maximize the availability of your data in production, the appliance includes a complete end-to-end architecture for data integrity, including redundancies at every level of the stack. Key features include:

  • Predictive self-healing and diagnosis of all system hardware failures: CPUs, DRAM, I/O cards, disks, fans, power supplies

  • ZFS end-to-end data checksums of all data and metadata, protecting data throughout the stack

  • RAID-6 (double- and triple-parity) and optional RAID-6 across disk shelves

  • Active-active clustering for high availability (See Appliance Cluster Configuration)

  • Link aggregations and IP multipathing for network failure protection (See Network Configuration)

  • I/O Multipathing between the controller and disk shelves

  • Integrated software restart of all system software services (See Appliance Services)

  • Phone Home of telemetry for all software and hardware issues (See Phone Home Configuration)

  • Lights-out Management of each system for remote power control and console access
